I've been thinking about using Lush henndigo again for a couple of reasons: 1) I'd like my hair to be as strong as possible and henna never hurts in that regard; 2) I think I want more reddish tones for autumn. I've used henna and Lush Caca before, but in Brun. There wasn't a color change. I have a brick of Marron that I purchased and ground up in March, but then decided not to use. It has been in the freezer. Is it ok to use? I heard that indigo doesn't do so well in the freezer, but it's just powder...
I'm also a little concerned about having roots/demarcation. I used semi-permanent dye on my hair for years and colored it black a few times. Then I went back to brown (but all the parts that had been colored black stayed pretty dark). After my first caca attempt, I tried to get some of the black dye off my length with honey lightening and it worked a bit. For the last 3 months, I have only colored my roots using a root touch-up kit. I'm worried that a redder caca will have zero effect on my length and make my "roots" (probably 6 inches grown-out from the black dye days) too red.
If you look in my album, you can see that the color is lighter and redder in the photos without flash. (See in particular the twin French braids.)
Basically, there are a couple of questions I need answered:
1) Can I get a red-brown without terribly visible roots?
2) Can I use Caca Marron to achieve the desired color?
3) Should I get a brick of Rouge or Brun and mix them with the Marron?
TIA!
